Holding

The application is dismissed with costs as the applicant has failed to meet the requirements of Order XLI rule 4 and has not provided sufficient proof of substantial loss.

Facts

An interlocutory judgment was entered in a matter, and the applicant, Benson Serem Songok, sought an order for stay of execution following formal proof in the subordinate court.

Issues
